SECTION 01 // ROUTING STANDARD

Official Routing Channels

Use the departmental address corresponding to the nature of your enquiry. Routing to the appropriate channel allows technical and commercial requests to be evaluated with the relevant context from the outset.

ROUTING PRINCIPLE

Send technical material requirements directly to Materials & Technical R&D. Legal or contractual matters should be directed to Legal & Compliance rather than embedded within general commercial correspondence.

SECTION 02 // RESPONSE FRAMEWORK

Response Timeframes & Inquiry Standards

OPUNÉ® evaluates professional enquiries according to their technical scope, commercial relevance, documentation requirements, and responsible departmental ownership.

RESPONSE 01

Initial Technical Evaluation

Technical material enquiries are generally reviewed within 24–48 business hours following receipt of sufficient project information.

The timeframe applies to initial evaluation and routing. It does not represent a commitment to sample availability, formulation development, technical approval, commercial quotation, or production allocation.
RESPONSE 02

Commercial Submissions

Commercial or enterprise enquiries should be submitted using a corporate email address and include sufficient information to establish the scope of the requirement.

Include: company name, professional role, target application, material category, construction parameters, sample requirement, procurement stage, intended geography, and relevant technical documentation.
RESPONSE 03

Technical Sample Requests

For swatches or material samples, provide the intended application and relevant performance or construction requirements wherever available.

This allows the request to be routed according to material architecture rather than treated as a generic sample enquiry. Sample availability, configuration, dimensions, finishes, and dispatch remain subject to development and supply conditions.
INTAKE DISCIPLINE

Incomplete Submissions

Where applicable, incomplete submissions — missing technical parameters, corporate identification, or application context — may require additional clarification before technical or commercial review can begin.

A precise enquiry produces a more precise evaluation. Define the material application, product category, and material characteristics before submission.
SECTION 03 // DATA PROTOCOL

Secure Data & Confidentiality

CONTROLLED INFORMATION

Proprietary Project Material

Material development can involve proprietary specifications, formulations, processing parameters, technical documentation, commercial information, and application-specific requirements.

DISCIPLINE

Channel Integrity

OPUNÉ® treats confidential project information through controlled professional correspondence and applicable confidentiality arrangements. Project documentation should be shared only with the authorised contact through the agreed channel.

FORMAL AGREEMENTS

Where a project requires exchange of proprietary technical information, the parties may establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement or Material Transfer Agreement appropriate to the nature of the information or physical material being exchanged. Confidential technical information should not be transmitted through general enquiry channels.
